    Very good stuff, one thing to point out though.. the ‘Time Machine’ Mausoleum key is not lost. It’s on the inside of the door and completely visible!!! Strange but true. The builders must have exited through the roof. Weird huh??!

    Go back to the morning of a friend's wedding. Tell myself "During a prayer when it's pin-drop quiet in the cavernous echo chamber of a church, while sat on a 30-foot long wooden pew/acoustic resonator, do NOT do the fart you are convinced will be short and silent."

    We were staying near this location at the weekend and I took the opportunity of checking out this v.spooky mausoleum. It’s a very interesting location to visit, although the view of Stamford Bridge next door does distract a bit from the atmos. The cafe at the entrance is nice too

    When I saw the word Brompton, bicycles immediately sprung to mind. A great video with fascinating facts about graveyard symbols & also the curiousity surrounding Hannahs Egyptian style Mausoleum. My advice to myself if I were to go back in time would be to "listen carefully to my intuition as it would prove to be invaluable"

Just in case it DOESN'T materialise through the mists of time, just wanted to say great vid for Halloween around Brompton. Cemeteries are amazing places to walk around for some peace & quiet & wildlife We know the tour guide for Highgate Cemetery! She loves it up there. If I stepped back in time for 30 seconds I think I would probably say ''Be Of The Moment''. 🌠 x J x

    Nice one cool dude! An excellent explore. I love your walking videos but also like it when you do something a bit off piste. Enjoyed the Beatrix Potter facts and The Tardis/Time Machines. From your previous video I was glad to see you’re a fan of scarred for life. I’m working my way through the 70s programmes on UA-cam too. The Tomorrow People is jaw dropping in the sense of some of the things they covered in the name of kids entertainment

    are there still living relatives or who is responsible for this mausoleum?

      I am afraid I can't answer these questions cool dude. There were no answers to it in the research I did. Maybe someone who works at the cemetery knows. I doubt there are still living relatives as I don't think her daughters married.

    My bit of advice would be to not worry so much over what other people think, just be who you are and for every person who doesn't like you, there will always be someone who does. So don't faff around with some shit friends just because you're scared of losing them. I guess, get some good friends.
    Your bit of advice is really good too. And I can definitely hear improvement in your piano(almost misspelled it as paino XD), keep it up! It's sounding better every ep!
